Tree Lopping

Tree lopping is a tree pruning practice that involves the removal of large sections of a tree's upper canopy or branches.

An arborist is a trained and certified professional who specializes in the care and management of trees. While the term "tree lopping" is often associated with improper and harmful pruning practices, a certified arborist can provide proper tree care services, including pruning, to ensure the health, safety, and longevity of your trees.

It’s not something you should DIY it.

Improper cuts and techniques can damage the tree's health and structure, leading to decay, disease, and long-term decline. This poses safety hazards, falling unpredictably and causing injuries to you, others, or property.

To ensure the well-being of the tree and your safety, it's recommended to hire certified arborists for proper tree care. Hiring a professional can save you from all the headaches you will need to deal with when you DIY it. This is because a professional tree lopper are:

Comply with Australian WHS Standards

Fully insured, licensed and council approved

Professionally trained to ensure all safety precaution has been taken

Fully equipped for all situations

Hiring an unlicensed tree lopper is just as risky as a DIY project.

Unlicensed individuals may offer lower prices, but their lack of expertise and improper techniques can lead to long-term damage to tree health, safety hazards, and the need for corrective measures. These can result in higher costs down the line for tree restoration, removal, property repairs, or even legal issues.
